If you've maxed out the volume when you connect headphones to your BlackBerry smartphone, the built-in audio boost feature allows you to amplify volume above the normal range offered by regular volume settings. This feature is especially beneficial for lower-quality headphones with less volume amplification. When you enable the audio boost feature, the volume for songs, ringtones and videos is automatically increased, which gives sound output an extra boost.

Click the "Media" icon from your BlackBerry smartphone's home screen, then press the "Menu" key.

Click "Options" or "Media Options" depending on the BlackBerry smartphone you're using, then select the "ON" option in the "Audio Boost." On certain models, select the "Audio Boost" check box.

Click "Yes" after reading the warning that states the volume will be amplified, and then press the "Menu" key. Click "Save."
